Mods vs. Rockers - Stockholm 2011

[@PXWest]

I'm a scooter guy myself but those Nortons and Triumphs are gorgeous!

[@ronaldmulukom7477]

Still I like my # red Vespa more . 🤔

[@lisaw150]

@@ronaldmulukom7477 red vespas are a way of life 😁 which model do you have? I have the Primavera Red 125cc.

[@sirponsonbywobblebottom3051]

This is basically Suggs VS Lemmy. And I love both.

[@marekryszard]

ikr ?? Motörhead and the Specials. Two bands I saw perform live a few times.

[@ANDREW-DICE-TATE]

Love old rocker bikes & attire/ dig mod's music more than most rocker's music. We got a problem Houston

[@apacherider7110]

Great to see Brit culture being celebrated in Sweden. Well done guys...

[@martinblazevski2736]

I would migrate to stockholm and buy a cafe racer and a little scooter and join them both. This palce is full of good people and no matter what , rockers or mods , they all love motorcycles and they are good to eachother

[@nightowl7459]

Martin Blazevski, I quite like both culture's myself.

[@ehought]

the fire has gone out of the mods and rockers conflict

[@UKRaver1956]

So funny hearing the scooters ride past. They sounded like a bunch of lawn mowers and sewing machines lol

[@colinbarker1146]

It how it was b4 1964 mod & rockers riots. It use to be friendly between Mods & ROCKERS b4 the media stepped in learn from the history & docos on TV

[@NoName-t7e]

Rockers with their bikes, black helmets and leather just look more bad-ass.

[@classydoctor5864]

Do people realise there was more to mods and rockers than just vehicles?

[@marekryszard]

I don't kmow. Please enlighten us . . .

[@dusckre24]

I agree

[@stephaneckes7438]

War eine geile Ueit damals,auch durch die Vielfalt an Motorrädern! Trucky.

[@alanwilliams3677]

They display a greater affection for British culture than most Brits. Perhaps that's what is wrong with Sweden, and us.

[@kaidocobraxx]

I would love to join both sides, and I will soon. I've got a '76 vespa right now and I adore it. And I have a honda cb in the works.

[@-dale2051]

Do you're a mocker?

[@johnhawley699969]

Good meet. Two crews of equal strength having a gentlemanly ride by! Like Knights on steeds! It's not all about a scrap!

[@stiffneck2090]

I'll go with the Rockers over the Moderns.

[@alfbittner6489]

Some thing that happened 50yrs ago still lives on,m good to see both sides out and about in the sun.

[@neilurquhart8622]

I was a rocker in the 60’s riding Nortons (350cc Navigator and 650ss), some years later I had a couple of Lambrettas but went back to bikes and now at the age of 80 I’ve got a Honda VFR v-tech….without doubt the best bike I’ve ever owned. During the 80’s I worked in Sweden (Stockholm, Uppsala and Umea) and got to love the country and it’s people. This video is so typical of the Swedes, very orderly and organised; I was unaware of the popularity of the mods & rocker culture though. The custom car movement was very prominent when I worked there…..as was ABBA of course!

[@marekryszard]

@meilurquart . . . I hope I'm still riding when I'm 80 years old. Last year I purchased a brand new Triumph Bonneville T120. I hadn't owned or ridden a motorcycle in 34 years !! At the age of 62, it has done wonders to improve my spirit of life. ❤ ❤

[@neilurquhart8622]

@@marekryszard riding helps to keep the mind alert and active (100% concentration ALWAYS!). Assume everybody on the road is out to kill you!!🇬🇧

[@eatathonwinner]

now that is a nice bike, a right triumph for a rocker :D

[@gitaneVYS491R]

I like old bikes and old scooters so I enjoyed watching that.

[@PaulincrediblypleasingSmith]

The style lives on! Long live the style!

[@eatathonwinner]

my dad was a rocker, my mum was a mod, hows that for a fight? still together to this day

[@devonmuseums]

I'm gutted, I've only got 8 mirrors. Mods, rockers, all great guys and girls.

[@Sci-Fi-Hooligan]

Going out with your mates on two wheels. Nothing will touch that!

[@dusckre24]

I love the concept of the café racer

[@srb71371]

Rockers just look more cool :)

[@callumgill7019]

Rey Barr oh yeah a load of men in full leather 😑 Mods will forever be cooler

[@dixiegreaser3238]

damn straight

[@dusckre24]

If I had lived at the time when the café racer was born, I would undoubtedly be a Rocker, since I discovered the world of motorcycles I loved the café racer, now I am a 20 year old and I have my own café racer style motorcycle, and watching this video undoubtedly makes me reaffirm that for me personally it is my favorite style, That's uncomfortable, but you adapt.

[@dusckre24]

Excuse my English, I speak Spanish

[@Maryonpark]

I loved Lambrettas but was never one for all the mirrors and lights.

[@alistairshaw3206]

I'm a biker, I passed my test in 1977. The smell of 2 stroke oil must have been great that day! I've never ridden a scooter though. I love the older bikes and own bikes from the 70s 80s and early 90s. The scooters are nice, but I must be a rocker, not a mod. I wear a leather jacket, not a parka.

[@lisaw150]

This is all very confusing: I have a Vespa and a black leather jacket, my dad has a Harley and a green parka... I guess we're each half mod, half rocker 😅

[@mozdickson]

smile people! supposed to be fun!!!

[@greatsongsuemorrris791]

the mods scooters were awsome with all the headlights ect and if you got a ride on one you were well in with the mod crowd

[@greatsongsuemorrris791]

the mods were the best without a doubt awesome and the music

[@lambrettist2007]

That's 'cause there really aren't scooter riding mods anymore, and we look after our scooters just as much as you guys looked after your bikes, maybe even more.

[@dannytoores1351]

0:15 holy shit its gordan ramsay

[@paulcowell7588]

60s-70s media that put mods and rockers at each others throats.just different types of two wheel travel as far as I'm concerned.although secretly most rockers wanted a lambretta....the mods smelled better.

[@nigelneedham8075]

YES I HAD A SCOOTER BUT WENT ONTO MOTORCYCLES,A 250 ARIEL ARROW,A 250 NORTON JUBILEE, AND A 200 SUZUKI INVADER, IN THOSE DAYS ONE COULD RIDE ON L PLATES UP TO 250,SADLY I NEVER TOOK MY TEST, NOW WELL OVER 60 I LIVED THROUGH THE GOLDEN AGE OF TRIUMPHS BSA'S NORTONS AND AJS'S,MY COUSIN HAD A 1960S TRIUMPH THUNDERBIRD.

Call a teddy boy a mod and you'll get a shoeing! Teddy boys are rockers in the long drape Edwardian jackets hence the name teddy boys.

[@spiritov69]

I was a mod But also a rude boy Then i realised i loved punk as well And in secret, some 80's synth music But mostly i was a mod 🤣🤣🤣

Fuck you mate rockers are the best

[@johnord684]

I always classed myself as a mocker bit of a mod and bit of a rocker.Loved the mod style and music as well a rock music but prefered proper bikes to scooters.

[@louiejonesponation]

Same here, I dress like a Mod, listen to the music that Mods would listen to, and I like scooters (Lambretta LI150 Series 3, Lambretta LI150 Special, Lambretta TV200, Lambretta SX200, Vespa 125); However, I like a lot of Rockabilly and I like bikes (Royal Enfield Classic 500, Harley Davidson Electra Ultra Limited, Vincent Black Shadow, 1976 Kawasaki KZ900), so I guess I’m a Mocker.

[@marekryszard]

Ringo Starr is the original Mocker. LOL

[@robertwilkinson2232]

The mods look so scary in their parkas and hair dryers

Did the mods really chant "we are the mods"? Is this a civil war reinactment scenario? ..inspired by Quadrophenia, or legit?

[@mattcollier5957]

Those Mods look ridiculous, coats that are too big for them with targets on there backs, the hairdryers have more mirrors than cc.s.

[@ottodidakt3069]

this looks like a rich kids fashionista. Authentic Mods and Bikers are both cool by my book. I'm an old mod, and have had loads of biker friends from work. Great people and jerks on both sides. But (real) Mods have a much better variety of music and are less subject to the politics bullshit some bikers tend to go for. Besides Mods ride in class, maybe slow but classy. Like my mom used yo say : big cylinder, small dick. Hahaha.
